Ok , so my brother bought this wooden phone recently and it is missing the receiver. I looked at the phone and it was apparently at one tine painted beige and that beige paint remains on the Gongs and on the microphone as well as some of the wood.

I can not find a brand on this ANYWHERE, maybe under the paint? There is a sticker inside that refers to "Type AA" and a hanging tag that refers to connecting a loop start button.

I would like to help him get a receiver and on another note there are no connectors on the cloth receiver cable but not sure of how this would connect to the receiver anyway if just spade lugs or not.

he also is missing the crank.

Any help in identifying and anyone with parts?

Now to find a receiver. My brother wants to make 2 crank phones ring each other as an intercom. This would be one the other is a Leitch "beehive" desk set.
